Nice. You will like those batterys. What straps are those? Also a few strips of valcro across the tray and batterys will help keep the batterys from shifting during crashes, and take strain off the batterystraps.Works well. Thanks.

traxxas basher: I used 6-cell Nimh batteries so I can't compare with the SPC. Read my review below you will have more info about runtime and power

trxbeast193 : yes I think I really finished my project, my E-Maxx is great for bashing

E-maxx Sweden : I wanted a reliable, durable and powerful PS, and I bought it Sure you can use less powerful PS ! Thanks for my birthday

akrimmel : thanks ! Did you buy a camera to post pics of your E-Maxx ?

Rnemhrd: these straps are only available in a French home improvement superstore And they work well. To avoid slidind during crashes I use grip tape (used by tennis players) in the battery box as you can see in the pics above. The batteries are well attached with my system But thanks for the advice !

I will soon buy the Hyperion EOS0610iDUO Balance Charger with four 2s 8000mAh lipo batteries to have the best runtime . I don't know yet if I will buy SPC or TrueRC lipo batteries (only these brands produce affordable 8000mAh batteries...). We will see !

why did you buy the lipo voltage cut off??? the HV PRO comes with built in lipo voltage cut off...

Better or faster than my previous chargers ? : both ! 2 hours to charge the 2 pairs.
With my two old AC/DC chargers (http://www.conrad.fr/webapps/t2m_chargeur_wizard.html) I couldn't charge at 1C (just 3A max...), so I needed at least 4 hours to charge my 3 pairs of Nimh GP 3300mAh... And the chargers were really hot and sometimes they stopped the charge too early without reason...

Now I plug the PS in the wall and go ! No overheating, no breaks, no problems ! I'm really happy with my setup

Drift !

There was a thin layer of ice in front of my house so I tried to drift with my E-Maxx That was funny but it's hard to drive on ice with slick tires ! Good sensations though
You can't see the power of my maxx with its new lipo batts in this vid (the wheels spinned a lot of course !), I will post another vid this weekend in which you will be able to see the new perf of my monster !!

Thanks all Yes my bash site is very cool, and with the thin layer of ice it was funny.

traxxas basher : no pics of the carnage, it was not extraordinary enough

E-maxx Sweden : you're right it's difficult to see the difference in term of torque & speed in this vid, I will post another vid (at the skate park ) today or the next weekend, I'm sure you will see the difference

ViDeO ViDEo VIdeO videO

I went to my skate park, it was not a good idea... With this vid I think you can easily see the difference between my old 6-cell GP 3300mAh batts and my new ones (look at the sky ).

Now I land in the middle of the half-pipe, so the landings are rather hard for my E-Maxx I broke one wheel and one strap., and I damaged 2 battery packs It's not serious but it's really annoying ! Only 4 jumps (10 minutes of fun...) before the breakage, it wasn't enough for learning to control my monster in the air
But I think it was my last session at the skate park with my current setup because I'm sure to break something with it every time. I love bashing but not stupid bashing

Man thats wild..
Sorry to hear that you didnt get much fun time at the skate park.
Yea at my skate park it all concreate so that can get really crazy quick (Broke two bottom RPM arms at once on my T-Maxx and cracked my wheel)
Hope you dont do any interanal damage to your new lipo

Looks like you had pretty good control of the truck while she was in the air with the GP3300's! Wish I had access to ramps that would allow me to get that much air! Looks like fun... other than the breakages, of course!
